Recently Unbound was nominated for the 2013 Topaz Awards for best minor pairing. I am proud to say that it won! So thank you all for voting! I hope Outound can do just as awesome. And thank you all for staying with this series! You guys are awesome!

Ok, everyone. This also has to be addressed before you get into the new chapter. Outbound was always a project that combined the powers of myself and ZenNoMai. We wanted to work together, and we both came up with this idea. But recently, Zen left fanfiction. If you were to go to his profile, all his stories are gone. So, I decided to take up the rest of the story and I'm going to dedicate this story to him. He helped me allot with this, and he does deserve credit. I also wish him the best and I hope someday that he comes back to fanfiction. Until then, Outbound will be a solo fic. But his presence will always have a mark here. So my friend, I wish you the best. And I hope someday you decide to come back. Until then, I hope I can carry Outbound to the same level of awesomeness. Enjoy everyone. And to Zen, stay awesome, my friend. I hope you're doing well, and we all miss your work.

And now…

Enjoy chapter 7 B.

Robbie Shapiro shook his head as he bent down to get his sister. "You mind telling me why you and Jade were kissing in our room?"

Rob looked back at him as he went for her feet. "Hey, it's not my fault that she chose that moment to come to the dorm. You told me that I had to come here. Jade being here was bound to happen. Jade and I are like you and Tori. We're always together."

Robbie picked up his sister by her shoulders. The two of them began carrying her to the couch. "That doesn't mean you had to kiss her when you got here."

He rolled his eyes, "Please. Jade and I kiss whenever we want. We had a moment, and we took it. I think you and Tori won't argue about that. If this was our world, and you and Tori got trapped, you would be kissing and groping all the time too. It is the only thing that kept my Jade safe."

"Only because I'm the only one that knows what Tori went through, and how she felt those two days in the shed." He snapped out.

"I know. I went through the same thing with Jade." Rob told him after they placed their sister on the couch. They then approached each other. "Which means above anything, you know that what Jade and I are like when we're alone. It's the same with you and Tori. So don't go down my throat with me stopping my need to touch Jade."

Robbie approached his doubleganger. "That still doesn't give you the right to go at it like animals in my room!"

"Go at it like animals?" Rob snapped. He smirked. "Please. If anyone goes at it like animals it's me and Jade. You and Tori are probably the opposite. All smooth and tender. No need cruel animal behavior."

He glared at him, "Tori and I can be as animalistic as we want." He shook his head, "We've gone doggy style a bunch of times!" He laughed a little, "I can even tell you about the time with the handcuffs!"

"Will you two just shut up?!"

The two of them stopped when they heard the question. They turned their heads to the couch. "I do not need to know how my brother's sexlife is different then…" She shook her head. "Who are you then?" She then looked at Jade and Tori. "And why weren't you trying to stop them."

Jade shrugged as she shoved a handful of popcorn into her mouth. A bowl was sitting beside her. "What? It was hot. Who know's when I was going to get to see something like this again?" She smirked. "I'm just surprised Vega didn't say anything."

Tori smiled sheepishly. "I kinda actually liked it too."

Jade smirked, "Guess there's hope for you yet, Tori."

"They totally want to have sex with us!" Rob said, shocked.

"Together!" Both Robbies said allowed.

Jade grinned, "Now that's an idea!" She licked her lips. Turning to Tori, she asked. "You mind taking Sarah for some ice cream. Give us an hour." She smiled. "Then you can come here and have a turn."

"Jade!" Rob yelled.
"Tori!" Robbie yelled.

When Tori didn't answer, Robbie repeated. "Tori!" But she remained silent.

Jade smirked. "Looks like Vega is lost in thought. Maybe she's thinking about it." She smiled. "I gotta say, I actually like this version of her. Being not so prude is a good look for her."

The word 'prude' snapped her out of her thoughts. "I'm not a 'prude.'"

Then Jade sighed, she noticed the sudden return of the usual 'Tori' behavior. "And now… she's gone…"

"Will someone tell me what's going on?" Sarah snapped. All four of them looked at the dazed younger Shapiro. "How come there are two of you?"

That being said, the four them explained what happened the last few days.

Sarah Shapiro looked at the four people within the walls of her brother and his girlfriend's dorm. As she looked at two of them, she already knew who she was looking at, and she could easily relate to two people that she recently have been becoming important to her. Not only because one of them was her brother, but the other was his girlfriend who was fully responsible in the finding the true Robbie Shapiro that was buried within the soul of a young man that was constantly ridiculed, jerked around, put down, and neglected, and disowned. Done by the people that were supposed to love him the most. But now replaced with the family of his girlfriend and his own sister.

And the other two?

The other two were people that were actually closely tied to Robbie. But not by the people that you would think of when people that were close to her brother in truth. But actual doubles of him and Jade West. Two people that were never actually sought to be a possibility of existing.

It was surreal.

So surreal that the mere idea of the fact that this happened was so out there that the best way could describe it was…

"When did this become an episode of 'Sliders'?"

Rob and Robbie looked at one another. "Guess that would make us Quinn, huh?" Robbie asked.

"Either Quinn or Ash." Rob corrected.

"And who would be the 'Bad Ash' in that comparison?" Jade asked. She smirked, "I bet my Robbie is 'Bad Ash,' and her Robbie is 'Good Ash.'" She looked at Tori, "Isn't that right, Tori? Only my Robbie would be the 'Bad Ash.'"

Sarah groaned, "I don't care. Neither one of the Robbies are good or bad. All I know is that I have two brothers now."

Two brothers…

She snapped her head to Robbie. "So that wasn't you this morning, was it?" She looked at Rob. "It was you."

He shrugged, "I just wanted to spend some time with you. I wanted to see if there was anything different between you and my sister back home."

"And was there?" Sarah asked, interested.

"Both of you were pretty much the same. The only thing that's been majorly different between our worlds is that here I ended up with Tori and back home, I ended up with Jade." Rob summed up.

"That and some of the minor details were different." Tori said. "Like for me in the shed, it was Jade and Cat interrogating me."

"And for Jade it was you and Beck." Rob brought up.

"Right. Minor differences, but primarily the same outcome." Tori said. And as she thought about that, something began to spark in her mind. It started to make sense when she went back to the way the two Robbies were talking just moments before.

If she and Robbie got together here, and Jade and Rob got together there, then it was safe to say that while both Robbies have had the same histories, their current incarnations would actually reflect on how they acted in today's picture…

"I think I just thought of something."

"What?" Robbie asked.

"Maybe this whole 'Bad'/'Good' Robbie isn't so far off."

Jade glared at her, "I knew it! You do think my Robbie is 'Bad Ash.'"

"No!" She insisted. "Not like that. I mean, there are differences between our Robbies."

Both Robbies looked at one another as Tori brought that idea up.

"I mean, my Robbie is different because of all the time we spent together in the cell. All the talking, all the listening, all the differences between Jade and me. My Robbie had the time spent with me. So everything that he gained was because of the time that he spent with me. And all the time your Rob spent with you made him different too. He's a product of your relationship like how my Robbie is a product of my relationship."

"Ok…" Rob said, not getting the concept quite yet.

Robbie's eyes widened. "Just like 'Sliders.' Whenever Quinn went to another world, he could run into a double. And that double would be different from him because of their pasts were different."

"Right." Tori told him. She looked at Rob. "So Jade had an effect on you. Just like I had an effect on my Robbie."

"And what pray tell are the differences?" Jade asked. "Because this is getting extremely wonky."

Tori looked at the two Robbies and then at Jade. Even though they may be considered the same 'person,' you can't change the past that Jade and Tori had. Meaning while Jade and Tori might of changed due to their time with their Robbies, their histories didn't. So then…

"Your Robbie had to deal with Beck. Didn't he?" Jade gave her a look. "I know my Jade and Beck had a strong relationship. They've been going out for years. And if my Robbie never got involved with you, then your Robbie had to deal with your past. He had to deal with Beck. And I can bet that he and Rob had problems from the start. I bet you two were at odds and Robbie had to deal with him."

Rob let out a sigh as he heard Tori's epiphany. Jade looked at him after Tori described her concept.

"It wasn't easy…" Rob said slowly.

Jade knew that tone. She went over to him and slipped an arm around his waist. "But it was worth it. All those times, all the confrontations with Beck. It proved you had the potential that I saw in you."

Rob looked at her, "But I had to fight for you, Jade. I fought with Beck so many times. That sometimes I didn't know if it was going to end up with you staying with me. I thought there were times when you would leave me and go back to Beck."

"Which didn't happen." Jade told him. "I told you. I'm with you. I want to be with you. I love you. And I will always be here for you."

"Just like how I know Tori will always be there for me." Robbie told him. "For me, I didn't have to deal with constant fights for Tori's affections. Yeah, there were times when I thought I lose her to Danny. But she helped me get over that really fast."

Tori grinned. "I told you before, Baby. You're mine. You're my one and only. I will always love you."

"Ok… ok…" Sarah said slowly. "I get it. All four of you are the same. And also different. But there is one thing that remains…"

"What?" Robbie asked, finally noticing his sister again.

"Which one of you is going to help me with Trisha?"
